Students in the Global Media Analysis class at Tallwood High School had been working on group projects this year.
One of the students, Manny Ocampo, unexpectedly had to travel to the Philippines for a family emergency. Undeterred, his group partner Ryan Schneider was wondering how to continue with the project and they decided to use Skype so that Ocampo could continue with the project and not miss the class. Even with the 13 hour time difference, the two didn’t miss a beat as they continued to work across the globe.
